Abstract

ABSTRACT

A reusable, recyclable, reversible carton is made from recyclable plastics material and is formed from a carton blank adapted for erection without the need for additional closure devices such as glue or staples. The plastics material may be polyethylene and printing on at least one surface may be by use of W inks on a roughened surface with a view to maximum longevity of the printing.
The carton is erected from a knock-down carton blank having releaseable engagement tabs and slots to releaseably maintain the carton in an erected condition.
A two part lid is provided, each part of which may be folded down the side of the carton to allow for the possibility of using the carton for open storage.
